Hi there,

Christian d'Hiver was nice enough to send me a copy of the music for Lilies
and I have a few questions.

Could we possibly play Grimstock and Rufty Tufty in G?

Rostiboli and Gelosia are missing the ends of the dances if we are doing
the versions out of Joy and Jealosy. Are we doing different versions?

Anello shows a repeat of the last section. I'm not used to that repeating.
Are we doing the repeat the music shows?

Hearts Ease shows the first part repeating, but that will make 4 times
through the "verse" part. Are we doing the dance differently?

Dashing White Sergeant and Road to the Isles aren't included, not a
problem, 'cause I've got sheet music. Are we doing Road to the Isles or
Scotland the Brave?

Hi all Musicians for Lillies from the Ball Brat Tsire

Fine with me as long as all agree on it.

Rostiboli and Gelosia are missing the ends of the dances if we are doing
the versions out of Joy and Jealosy. Are we doing different versions?
Traditional or more comfortable versions are always acceptable again,
agreement is the key.

again, same answer, tradition, comfort and agreement are key.

3 times please

Thsi is a favorite distinction of your Katriana :) _ We are doing the most
widely accepted Scotland the Brave...not the flok song Road tot he Isles.

Yay for sheet music for dashing White Seargeant, I was unable to find a copy
..Katriana saves my rear again! All hail the sheet music vortex.
Let me know what else I can do to make this as spiffy as possible for all
musicians who are good enough to play for us silly old dancer types!

... The big concern is that we practice the music the way it will be danced. If we practice the version of Rostiboli out of Joy and Jealousy and then the dance

The big concern is that we practice the music the way it will be danced.
If we practice the version of Rostiboli out of Joy and Jealousy and then
the dance taught at Lilies matches the Lilies music and DOESN'T have the
saltarellos and movimentos at the end, then the musicians will (once again)
confuse the dancers. If we practice the music provided and the dancers are
expecting to saltarello and we start again with the beginning, the same
problem occurs. Are the steps as they will be done at the ball available?

OK, so you want it to be "up a double and back, that again, that again"
then the chorus?

Or are you affirming that there are 3 verses total?

http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/lod/vol2/hearts_ease.html (article with the 1st
edition) andhttp://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/playford/40.html (2nd edition) shows that the
"verse" part goes through 2 times for each verse, the action and "that
again" and that's the way I've always played it. Phaedra's music shows 4
times through the "verse music" (a repeat written out and also a repeat
symbol!)
(and for those who haven't seen the originals before, the music repeats are
down in the dance instructions)

I'll get the music for scotland and dashing white sergeants up as soon as I
can (and maybe Conrad can make a pdf file for us)
